The last few months have been busy!  We have been packing, moving to our new house (which is actually just down the street from our old house), unpacking, and settling in, along with supporting Bible translators in their work.

New House!

God has blessed us tremendously with this new house!  We can feel the difference the extra space makes. It has been very helpful to have separate bedrooms for the boys and the girls, as well as an extra bathroom! Many thanks to all who helped make this move possible!

The kids love their new bedrooms and are feeling quite settled.

Christina has been busy settling in at our new house (a bigger task than we first imagined, but overall it’s gone quite well).  We both have enjoyed the little projects around the house that are making it OUR home.

Advanced Translation Software Workshop

James has continued to support Bible translators as they use the software for Bible translation, linguistics, and literacy.  Recently, he helped run an Advanced Paratext Workshop (Bible translation software) that was very well attended.  Many people expressed how helpful it was and how helpful it would be in the future as they continued the work of Bible translation.  One person put it simply, “If you use Paratext, you should take this workshop!”

It is encouraging to know that these translators will use the knowledge they learned in their work with Papua New Guinean co-translators.

Massive Earthquake

We have written a separate update about the 7.5 magnitude earthquake that happened about 3 weeks ago in Papua New Guinea.  Though we are safe, it significantly impacted other areas of PNG.  You can read more (including pictures and how to donate) by going here: https://www.thepostsonmission.com/?p=2847.
